I'm not an advanced fisherman by any means, but what I typically do on Ottertail this time of year is hit the mid-lake humps in the 18' to 30' range. I usually use a Lindy Rig tipped with a leach. I'll move around from hump to hump trying to find the active fish. In the late evening and at night, I will troll in the shallows (deep side of the weed edges) with a shad rap.

There are a lot more knowledgable and experienced fishermen on this site than me, and they may have some better and more detailed information.

Good Luck, and let us know how you do.

Was on O.T. last Sat. Very slow, caught two 16" eyes in 8 hours on the water. Tried everything. Got the fish on spinner/crawler in 30+ feet. When cleaning the fish there was absolutly nothing in their stomachs. Try Rush lake. Sounds like more action over there.
